Wow, does that suck! Such a small thing becoming such a big problem. Hope it turns into a relatively easy fix.

I don't see why that wouldn't work, unless that PVC glue is affected by hydrocarbons.

That's just nuts. $700 for what is nothing more than a broken fuel pump hat. Maybe it's available aftermarket?

Quadratec sells it for $314. https://www.quadratec.com/parts/jeep-wrangler-jk-fuel-pump-parts
Take that part number and check out RockAuto as Overlander mentioned, or one of the other chain auto parts stores, and see if you can get a better price.

I have not but it doesn't look like a removable part anyway. I will heck tho
It's not part of the fuel pump assembly. This is part of the evap system on the back on the tank. The pump is located in the middle of the tank

I hate it when I break stupid little stuff like that, especially at the end of a project. Video you show of pvc pipe solution should work fine. Maybe just double check that gasoline won't break down the glue over time. Hope it works out.

Yea I plan on using the glue and then doing a layer of permatex as a second layer to help hold it on better and so the connection hopefully doesn't break again if I ever need to take that line off again.
Just started to catch up on this and man, what a bummer. The good news is that a broken evap check valve won't leave you high and dry. You will have a check engine light come on if you run it like that long enough but that's about it. Unfortunately, I don't think the nipple on top of the sending unit is made out of PVC. If you try to repair this, I might try using JB Weld instead.
